30 minutes later, two police cars stopped at the entrance of the Coastal District.

Li Jian, Jiang An, and others had just gotten out of the police car when they saw a black armored vehicle approaching.

"Mr. Li."

A special police officer in a black uniform, wearing gear, stepped forward.

"Thank you for your hard work! We still need your support."

"No problem!"

"Our daily work is patrolling, coming to assist you is also part of our job."

Then, Li Jian, Wan, Jiang An, and the seven members of the special police unit walked towards Building 5.

Zhang Yean and Platinum Han KTV manager Ma Li followed behind.

Li Jian asked, "Which floor and unit does Qin Xiao live in?"

Ma Li thought for a moment, "I remember it's Unit 4 on the 10th floor."

"Ding"

The elevator door opened, and Li Jian said to Zhang Yean, "You stay downstairs and keep an eye on her, contact us if necessary."

Zhang Yean replied, "Mr. Li, got it."

Then, the group took the elevator to the 10th floor.

The elevator door opened, and right across was Unit 4.

The four special police officers immediately divided into two groups, standing on either side of the door with their guns raised.

Wan and Jiang An concealed themselves behind the special police officers.

Li Jian stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After 1 minute, there was no answer.

Li Jian turned sideways and pressed his ear against the metal door, listening carefully.

Through the metal door, Li Jian faintly heard soft, noisy music.

He immediately made a gesture to the four special police officers beside him, indicating that there was someone inside.

Then, Li Jian knocked on the door again.

Another series of "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Both the force and intensity were noticeably stronger than before.

The next second, a man's voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

Li Jian did not answer, continuing to knock harder on the door.

"Who is it?"

"I'll kill you."

The sound of a creaking door opening came.

As soon as the security door opened.

A thin man holding a vegetable knife appeared in sight.

Immediately, the two special police officers on the side rushed forward.

Before the man inside could react.

He was already pinned to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

...

After the man was subdued, two other armed special police officers rushed into the bedroom, scanned the room, and found no one else.

After confirming safety, Li Jian, Jiang An, and Wan entered the room together.

Li Jian saw the computer in the living room was on, playing game sounds.

He walked over, turned off the computer, and found a bottle with a straw plugged in next to it.

Then, Li Jian turned and walked over, squatted on the ground, and asked, "What? Got crazy on drugs?"

The man shouted, "Why are you arresting me?"

"Based on the bottle with a straw on your table, that alone can put you in jail for a few days."

At this time, Jiang An looked around the room.

It was a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, very small in size.

After a quick look, Jiang An found no woman's belongings.

There were no bloodstains found in the bedroom or bathroom.

Especially, no minute bloodstains formed by high-speed rotation were found on the walls or ceiling.

On this side.

Li Jian asked, "What is your relationship with Qin Xiao?"

"Qin Xiao?"

"Who's Qin Xiao?"

The man squatting on the ground was full of confusion.

"Qin Xiao lived here, don't play dumb with me."

The man cried bitterly, saying, "I really don't know who Qin Xiao is?"

"I rented this apartment from the landlord in November last year."

Li Jian asked, "What time?"

"November 11th last year, I remember clearly, it was Singles' Day."

Li Jian stood up, looked around.

He glanced at Jiang An, who shook his head.

Originally thinking they could catch someone red-handed, they didn't expect to return empty-handed.

Then, Li Jian asked, "Do you have the landlord's number?"

"Yes... yes... yes!"

20 minutes later, the female landlord came up in a hurry.

She saw the police holding the tenant, the floor in disarray, and suddenly showed a face of disgust.

Li Jian said, "I have a few questions to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"When did you rent the apartment to him?"

"I remember it was last November."

"What was the name of the previous tenant?"

The woman answered, "Qin Xiao, she rented the apartment for three years in a row, I know her."

Li Jian continued to ask, "If she rented for three years, why did she suddenly move out last year?"

The woman answered, "I remember she mentioned someone was coming to live with her, this room was too small, she wanted to move to a bigger place."

"Was that person a man or a woman?"

"I don't know about that."

"And where did she move to?"

The woman gently shook her head.

"I have no idea."

Li Jian asked, "When did Qin Xiao move out?"

"Early October last year, but I can't remember the exact day."

Li Jian nodded, thanked her.

Then, he pointed to the bottle with the straw on the computer desk and said, "Today, consider it helping you complete an enforcement target."

The special police officer standing beside looked at the computer desk and said, "What a surprising find."

Then, Li Jian, Jiang An, and Wan walked out.

The three entered the elevator, and Li Jian saw a camera in the corner of the elevator.

He said, "Wan, when you go out, ask the property management center how long the surveillance records are kept."

"Okay!"

At this moment, Li Jian's phone ringtone rang.

The caller ID showed a landline number.

"Mr. Li, this is from the toxicology lab, we've detected residues of sedatives and tranquilizers in the soil from the White Bone case you sent over."

"Got it, thanks!"

Li Jian hung up and said, "The toxicology results from the soil in the back hills are out."

"Just as Jiang An said, there are indeed residues of sedatives and tranquilizers."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An said, "That explains why the fracture types on the two deceased were similar."

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the first floor.

Li Jian approached Ma Li and said, "Thank you, it's busy for you at night, you can head back now."

"Please leave a number, I'll contact you tomorrow to learn more about Qin Xiao."

Ma Li nodded repeatedly, saying, "If you need, feel free to contact me anytime."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Yean curiously asked, "Wan, how did it go?"

Wan shook his head.

"The man inside has nothing to do with the case."

The four got into the police car, Wan took the wheel and said, "Boss, good thing you arranged for special police support in advance, otherwise we might have gotten hurt."

Li Jian said, "When facing criminals, we must always have sufficient police force to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Lesson learned!"

Wan then asked, "Mr. Li, where to next?"

Li Jian raised his wrist to take a look.

"It's almost 11 PM."

He said, "Let's head back to rest for the night, we'll continue investigating Qin Xiao's personal connections tomorrow."

"Qin Xiao rented that place for three years."

"We need to find out why she suddenly wanted to move."

Wan got excited upon hearing this.

"Thanks, Captain, if we don't go back soon, my wife might forget me."
